About
Historic mudbrick palace on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Najran valley, presented as a heritage museum on the architecture and history of the southern oasis.
Al-Aan Palace stands on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Najran valley and is one of the most photographed historic buildings in the south of Saudi Arabia. The mudbrick complex of stacked rooms, watchtowers, and stairways is typical of Najran's distinctive vernacular architecture and once served as a fortified residence for a local ruling family. Restored and presented as a heritage museum, it introduces visitors to the building's construction, the history of Najran as a long-inhabited oasis on the southern caravan routes, and the wider material culture of the region.
